Listen in to Jack recount some of the highlights from his recent presentation at Vetenskapsfestivalen, the local science festival in Gothenburg. We will go through Sir Isaac Newton poking needles into his eyes, follow up on Charles Darwin’s dietary habits, and discuss Albert Einstein’s blatant disregard for the sacredness of marriage. Did Werner Heisenberg trick the Nazi’s into giving up on the atomic bomb? Or did he just not understand the science well enough? We let the cat out of the box on Erwin Schrödinger and recount the triumph and tragedy of the life of Marie Curie. All this and more on this episode of Ordinary Observations. Hosts: Jack Williamson & Mark Stribling This is a podcast by K103 Göteborgs Studentradio.
